Require learners to complete a topic before moving forward

You can restrict navigation for learners so that they are required to interact with all interactive elements of a block before they can progress to the next block.

With restricted navigation, learners must play videos and audio, or flip cards, or open click-and-reveals or submit answers to questions (and so on) before the 'Next' button is made available. They cannot use the navigation menu to skip blocks.

Without restricted navigation, learners can navigate past blocks without interacting with the elements (excluding blocks in a formal Assessment section). They can also use the navigation menu to skip forward and over blocks without completing the blocks before.

By default, navigation is not restricted.
